My question is that I am looking at page 50 of Rita’s Process Charts (list all the Initiating, planning, executing, monitoring  & controlling, and closing process).  Rita says the planning process group has a set order.  The order of some of the activities just doesn’t make sense to me so I began looking in the PMBOK for supporting information.  I don’t see in the PMBOK that the same activities for the planning processes group are listed or the supporting detail to support the order.  I feel like I have to be missing something so please share if you can help.
